Whether you are a Jets fan, a Packers fan or a Vikings fan . . .
You Gotta love Bret Favre for loving the game of FOOTBALL.
Three weeks ago, Favre announced he was retired, and ON Tuesday, August 18, 2009, he signed with The Minnesota Vikings.
Favre says he has no bitter feelings toward the Packers. Sounds like Packer players may feel a little different. But either way, on October 5th and Nov 1st -- Vikings VS. Packers -- it will definitely two hot games.
Head Coach of the Vikings, Brad Childress said, "This is a unique opportunity, it speaks it all." Childress continued, "We are still in training camp and we have one month before the season."
Favre said, his arm is feeling good and strong, AND he did NOT come to Minnesota to LOSE!.
